It doesn't take any of those issues, it's just some ?'s I had about the results. No agenda here. I know TV reads this stuff, so maybe he will comment.

I will try and rewrite it clearer.
-The SVS Driver appears better built than the rest by far. Comments?
- The other subs 12" and 10" rolloff much faster. Why? Cheap drivers or diffeent engineering?
- SVS is know for their extension (pro.) Is this a con as well? Too much low end for short term impressions, too much delay (less musical), they are changing their drivers to the improved NSD which is claimed to have less delay and less extension?
- He decided to keep the Shiva. Why? What were the benefits?
- I wish more people would do comparisons like this.
- It might be more fair to compare to the subs that specialty shops carry, b/c you can usually negotiate w/ them to get 20% off and you can't do this with internet companies. Also, JBL and Velodyne are found for 1/3 off and sometimes more online.

I will say it again, great review, but let's get some discussion going on it. I hope that's clearer and there's no pretense of conspiracy there.
